Summer has arrived. It's one of my favorite times of the year because it brings the obvious things like sunshine, warmer temperatures and weekends full of fun. Most importantly, though, summer has always been about family and friends. Getting together with people we love over delicious food and drink. So in celebration of summer and lots of get-togethers, I thought I'd share a unique recipe for Strawberry Watermelon Margaritas. You're going to love these!

What makes this particular cocktail so wonderful (besides the amazing flavor combination) is the way it’s served. When I found these adorable mini-watermelons, I knew they were destined for greatness. After using the inside of this sweet fruit for the cocktail, I put the outer rind to use as a bowl. Who doesn’t want a cocktail the size of a small watermelon?

This drink takes a little advance preparation, but I promise it’s not difficult and totally worth it. As I note in the recipe below, you’ll want to scoop the flesh out of the watermelon and freeze it and the rind before getting your recipe started. On these hot summer days, the colder the better.

Pour into your watermelon rind bowls and garnish with a lime slice and straw. Sip and enjoy!

Once your watermelon is prepared, these are a breeze to make. If you need to make a larger batch, you can certainly use a large watermelon and serve these in glasses. I promise they will be just as amazing.

Cheers and have a fabulous summer!
